Event 22: Nine on the River

$500 + $60

Hamilton Dimaya and Angelo Modica see a flop of 3♠ 10 Q and all the chips are in:

Modica: Q 3♣ (two pairs)
Dimaya: 8♣ 3 (pair of 3s)

Turn: J♠ (Dimaya picks up a gutter ball straight draw)

River: 9♠

The river gives Dimaya a jack high straight and doubles his 440k to stay alive. With 1.6 million chips in play, the two stacks are virtually even.
